wat does 등 mean? i know it means back but i was wondering in the context of like Play, Stop, Pause 등의 있습니다. does that mean like etc or something?

aznbabygyrl:
That's not Korean.. lol. It's Chinese.

WOW. O_O
YOU MUST REALLY HAVE NOTHING TO DO... LOL.
THANK YOU VERYY MUCH!
&& Thanks to those that typed my name for me! <3
Ohh.. isn't it suppose to be Jah-Nee or something? *confused* 0_o

&& THANKS JAEHO!! LOL.

Well, I use an online dictionary a lot for Hanja. Still, I know some Hanja, but it's not like I know thousands of them. lol I'm not sure how much I know though. Maybe like somewhere around the 100's? That's actually bad. I can't even write a lot of them, but I can recognize them. I still have more to learn obviously. I started to absorb some Hanja when I was like 14 or so. Oh yeah, I also do a bit of independent Japanese learning, so that kinda helps too. But I'm not serious about learning Hanja. That's just something on the side.

Yup, it means etc/so on

등 may also mean, in common words

lantern or when you say 1st, 2nd, 3rd...etc. for some sorta contest or w/e
in korean it would be 1등 2등 3등... 등

chewy117...

thanks for replying to me about what was flashing on the clubbox about the World Cup event. I appreciate it very much.

What online dictinonary do you use for Hanja?

Thanks Jaeho for answering me^^

Can someone please translate what this say?

what does this mean?
"활동 열심히 하실꺼죠?"

http://hanja.naver.com
It's really nice!

"You may make the box after you confirm your actual name"

"You'll do your best with your activities, right?"

Very small thing. Is this correct?

Did you come to find Donovan?
도노반을 찾이게 오셨니?

도노반을 찾아 왔니?
도노반을 찾아 오셨나요?

^ Thanks much! I like the second one. Is 오셨니 never used? I swear I heard it before...

^ Not if you're actually talking to the person you're referring to, because that combines both the respectful form and the informal form, which doesn't make sense. It works if you're talking to a friend (or someone you may use the informal form to) about the person though.

That explanation's kinda confusing. ><

^ Thanks you two! That was such a dumb mistake. X-D

ie
you just came home and you're asking your little bro/sis if your parents are home

야, 부모님 집에 오셨니?

the 오셨 would be a way lower yourself from your parents and 니 would be the part where you talk to your peers

is it confusing??? it is kinda confusing in a way

^ Another example would be one of your parents' friends saying that to you. For example, he is superior to you, but he is being respectful to your parents by using -셨.

Another example:

아저씨: 어머님 주무시나?
꼬마: 네.

Could someone translate these words and 3 sentences to Korean in hangul? for me ... thx very much

also, do you know where i can download some hangul fonts?

왜 그거 하나 이해못하는지

can someone tell me what this means ? does it mean "why is it ones lost is ones gain?"

does Hanja's characters have the same meaning as chinese characters?

for example:

事件(사건) ①뜻밖에 일어난 사고(事故) ②사회적(社會的) 관심(關心)이나 주목을 끌 만한 일

i don't understand the Hangul characters but because i do know chinese,事件(shi jian) in Hanja means an incident.am i right?please correct me if i'm wrong.^^

Who is it directed to/talking about? Depending on that, it can mean something along the lines of, why you can't understand that one thing or why he/she can't understand that one thing...


Yes, for the most part. There may be some differences in the speaking language, like something you may say in Chinese people may not say the same thing in Korean, but the characters have the same meaning. Yes, the first word, which is saggun in Korean, means incident.

home=집
info= 정보
media= 미디어 (i don't think there is a seperate word in korean for media)
gallery= 화랑 (for more like an art gallery) or you could just use 갤러리 but if your talking about your picture gallery, you may also use 사진첩
links= there is no specific word for "links"
forum= 게시판

편하게 tv를 보시면서 좀 쉬었다 가세요 (well, it's not exactly the same for word for word but it's getting the same idea get acrossed)

this would mean
why can't you even understad that?

왜=why
그거=that
하나=one
이해=understand
못 하는지=can't do

yes, if we break it up and put the words together, it doesn't make any sense
하나 would be "even" instead of "one"

왜(why) 그거(that) 하나(even) 이해(understand) 못하는지(can't do)

why(왜) can't you(못하는지) even(하나) that(그거)?

in a better context wise

난 네가 왜 그거 하나 이해 못하는지 모르겠다
i(난) don't know(모르겠다) why(왜) you(네가) can't(못하는지) understand(이해) that(그거)




you got it right on the mark

man, i think you just chopped out these parts out of the whole conversation
there is now way i can get any closer than this
i would ask for the context but its DAMN too long
good luck to what ever you're trying to do
you might want to re-word it so it may fit in the context.
if the whole thing doesn't come out good, no need to mention me for the translation



my last name is Park and my first name is Sang Min

why is my last name Park?... becuase my father's last name is Park..

why is my first name Sang Min?... because that's what my parents named me
==================================================
well, that's about it for ya chihiro
might be a bit bleh
understand i had to go through shortboy's thing and my brain is overused
trying to understand what that whole thing was trying to say

anyways... i think that's it... no???

Holy crap to the crap that you had to go through . Seriously, much thanks for your effort in helping out. I'll be adding your name to the credits...I mean..wow!...I can't thank you enough for doing all of that .

edit: Hahahaha. Okay, so I'm looking over the translations. You tackled these like no other. I give you props for being able to translate them. No wonder it was so hard to understand from the Chinese subs...It's even confusing in Korean xD. But once again...thank you all the translations that you've done .

really curious.. is korea characters/words really that hard to write as they seem? they all look the same to me >.<

Can you please translate this? I think it's a thank you note. All I picked up is nuna and thanks

누나 너무 고마워~
누나가 나한테 너무 잘해줘서 너무 고마워~
내가 누나 아무것도 못해줘서 미안해~
나도 인제 누나한테 잘해주고싶어~

Cheers!

In my girl, Yoo rin, keeps saying "you'll be blessed"
how do you exactly say it in Korean? (romanised please) thanks

I'm going to engrave this in 2 rings,
can someone translate this in Korean PLS?

first ring will have "I'll be here for you"

the other ring will have "Just be there"

Thanks! =]

Thank you Nuna~
Thank you Nuna, for being so good to me~
I'm sorry I couldn't do anything for you~
Now I want to be good to you too~


I never watched the drama, was it something like 넌 복을 받을것이다? (Nŏn bogŭl badŭl kŏshida)

^ I didn't want to do yours since your having it engraved in a ring, and a mistake could cost you a lot X-D

They're not hard at all. The Korean alphabet is called Hangul, and it's just putting letters together.

PLS help anyone?

another...

I heard from my korean friend that korean is a really easy language to learn. Is that correct?

Cheers bsu!

According to the US government it's in the top tier of hardest languages in the world next to Arabic Chinese and Japanese

Therefore easiest way to learn Korean = be born to a Korean mother =P Like your friend
I will learn it some day..Just no time for another language at the moment..So this thread better still be around in like 4-5 years..haha

i havent seen the thing you're talking about but i think it's probably goes like this

복 받들거야 - bok bat eul geu ya


i hope i dont get this screwed up

i'll be here for you
널 위해 언제나 여기 있을게... - i'll always be here for you

just be there
여기에만 있어줘

i need help!!
please!! ,, i really want this now!! GIVE ME ASAP!!
can u give me " Happy Birth Day " song in Korean version + Romanji for me!!

Thanks *

Your Korean name is 곽옥영. Gwak Ok-Yeong (pronounced Ogyoung... spell it any way you like)

Stupid Vicky,
Eat well and live well

lol Well, the first word isn't EXACTLY stupid, but it's close to it. =p

Tamago86 is right. When people say Korean is easy to learn, they don't mean the whole language. The Korean WRITING SYSTEM (called Hangul) is easy to learn. ^^;

생일 축하합니다, 생일 축하합니다, 사랑하는 우리 __, 생일 축하합니다!
seng-il chukahamnida, seng-il chukahamnida, saranghanŭn uri (insert name), seng-il chukahamnida!
